Practical Guidelines for Using Technology Tools in Classroom Teaching | CRLT - 0 views

  • While technologies make it easier for instructors to create learning opportunities, provide prompt feedback, and improve student engagement with content materials, they also pose challenges.
  • Limit seven words per line and eight lines per overhead/slide.
  • Have a clear goal for using a video clip or clips
  • ...8 more annotations...
  • Avoid putting students in a passive mode of receiving information by combining the overhead/slide presentation with chalkboard/whiteboard use or other learning activities.
  • Limit the length of video clips.
  • Provide detailed instructions for students, including student roles and responsibilities
  • Create a comfortable atmosphere for the online conferencing/discussion, for example: Be an active participant. Challenge the students without threatening them. Use personal anecdotes when appropriate. Bring your own experiences to the discussion. Do not dominate a discussion or let a few students dominate it.
  • Energize the online discussion if needed (e.g., using role-plays, simulations, pros and cons).
  • Have a back-up plan for lectures (e.g., print or save the web pages on your local hard drive).
  • Emphasize the need for filtering and interpreting information on the Web when encouraging students to use online resources.
  • Use clickers in conjunction with teaching strategies such as “Peer Instruction” or “Think-Pair-Share” to improve students’ conceptual understanding of the content, as well as their critical thinking, problem-solving, and decision-making skills.

Teaching with Technology - Tools of Engagement - 0 views

  • Using Clickers (Personal Response Systems) to Facilitate Active Learning in the Classroom Clickers allow instructors to assess students’ understanding of the subject matter, receive immediate feedback and reinforcement for what is being learned, get shy and under-prepared students to participate, poll students’ opinions and preferences instantly, observe student misconceptions, and encourage peer instruction. Improving In-Class Discussion with Technologies Use principles of priming, integrating and reinforcing to improve in-class discussions. Use available technologies as tools for supporting these principles.

Why is Education So Important in Our Life? | EdLab - 0 views

  • rst thing that strikes me about education is knowledge gain. Education gives us a knowledge of the world around us and changes it into something better. It develops in us a perspective of looking at life. It helps us build opinions and have points of view on things in life. People debate over the subject of whether education is the only thing that gives knowledge. Some say education is the process of gaining information about the surrounding world while knowledge is something very different. They are right. But then again, information cannot be converted into knowledge without education. Education makes us capable of interpreting things, among other things. It is not just about lessons in textbooks. It is about the lessons of life. One thing I wish I can do is, to provide education for all: no child left behind and change the world for good!!

  • First: Emphasize good teaching, not good technology. Most faculty members want to learn things they can use, and can use quickly, to address teaching and learning. They want to become "end users" of technology, not technicians who must stay abreast of every new development in hardware, software, and programming skills.

What Is Successful Technology Integration? | Edutopia - 0 views

  • Technology integration is the use of technology resources
  • One of the central ideas of digital or media literacy is that students should be come creators and critics, not just consumers, of media
  • Successful technology integration is achieved when the use of technology is: Routine and transparent Accessible and readily available for the task at hand Supporting the curricular goals, and helping the students to effectively reach their goals

  • Seamless integration is when students are not only using technology daily, but have access to a variety of tools that match the task at hand and provide them the opportunity to build a deeper understanding of content
  • teachers are also exploring blended learning -- a combination of both online and face-to-face education
  • Many of the most rigorous projects are infused with technology from start to finish
  • There has been a lot of buzz about the benefits of incorporating simulations and game-based learning activities into classroom instruction
  • devices like cell phones, mp3 players, and tablet computers are now being used as learning tools in forward-thinking schools
  • One of the first, and most basic, ways that teachers encouraged kids to use technology was with online research, virtual field trips, and webquests
  • in daily classroom practices, and in the management of a school
  • Connecting with others online can be a powerful experience, both for teachers and for students
  • Though social media tools are still blocked in many schools, students around the world spend vast amounts of time on social networks outside of school
  • The ultimate goal of technology integration is to completely redefine how we teach and learn, and to do things that we never could before the technology was in our hands

Archived: Effects of Technology on Classrooms and Students - 0 views

  • Technology use allows many more students to be actively thinking about information, making choices, and executing skills than is typical in teacher-led lessons.
  • The student is actively making choices about how to generate, obtain, manipulate, or display information.
  • The teacher's role changes as well. The teacher is no longer the center of attention as the dispenser of information, but rather plays the role of facilitator, setting project goals and providing guidelines and resources, moving from student to student or group to group, providing suggestions and support for student activity.
  • ...14 more annotations...
  • Another effect of technology cited by a great majority of teachers is an increased inclination on the part of students to work cooperatively and to provide peer tutoring. While many of the classrooms we observed assigned technology-based projects to small groups of students, as discussed above, there was al
  • so considerable tutoring going on around the use of technology itself.
  • Increased Use of Outside Resources Teachers from 10 out of 17 classrooms observed at length cited increased use of outside resources as a benefit of using technology. This effect was most obvious in classrooms that had incorporated telecommunications activities (see examples), but other classes used technologies such as satellite broadcasts, telefacsimiles, and the telephone to help bring in outside resources.
  • Increased Motivation and Self Esteem
  • The most common--and in fact, nearly universal--teacher-reported effect on students was an increase in motivation. Teachers and students are sometimes surprised at the level of technology-based accomplishment displayed by students who have shown much less initiative or facility with more conventional academic tasks:
  • student self esteem.
  • Change in Student and Teacher Roles
  • Improved Design Skills/Attention to Audience
  • Project-based work (such as the City Building Project and the Student-Run Manufacturing Company) and cooperative learning approaches prompt this change in roles, whether technology is used or not. However, tool uses of technology are highly compatible with this new teacher role, since they stimulate so much active mental work on the part of students. Moreover, when the venue for work is technology, the teacher often finds him or herself joined by many peer coaches--students who are technology savvy and eager to share their knowledge with others.
  • The kids that don't necessarily star can become the stars. [with technology]. My favorite is this boy . . . who had major problems at home. He figured out a way to make music by getting the computer to play certain letters by certain powers and it changed the musical tone of the note and he actually wrote a piece. He stayed in every recess. . . . When I asked him what he was working on, he wouldn't tell me. Then he asked if he could put his HyperCard stack on my computer because it was hooked up to speakers. I said "sure" and at recess. . . he put it on my computer and played his music and literally stopped the room. And for months he had kids begging him at recess, every recess, to teach them how to make music. And for that particular kid it was the world because he really was not successful academically and was having lots of problems. . . . This really changed him for that school year. -Elementary school teacher

Some mentioned motivation with respect to working in a specific subject area, for example, a greater willingness to write or to work on computational skills. Others spoke in terms of more general motivational effects--student satisfaction with the immediate feedback provided by the computer and the sense of accomplishment and power gained in working with technology:
